Sebastian Lanser | Obscura - "An Epilogue To Infinity" (Drum Playthrough)

[@christianjnorman]

1:15 That hi-hat groove sits so well with that guitar riff. Everything from his playing, techniques, composition, mix, and mastering is perfect. Sebastian is one of the best drummers in the world, no doubt. :O

[@NarMattaru]

Yes, and I think with David Diepold we will lose that groove. They are totally different techniques, and you could already tell the difference when he played covers of Obscura (Difference in favor of Sebastian). They are both great drummers, but that strongly mixed groove is unique to Sebastian.

[@kristijanfistrek9055]

@@NarMattaru I don't actually worry, it is not something David will not be able to nail. I'm sure he'll contribute some amazing drum lines and bring forth a more aggressive approach to the rhythm section. I see people talking about it like David is a noobie. Don't worry, he got this.

One of the drumming videos that does not get any less mind blowing everytime you watch it. Sebastian is truly on a league of mostly his own.

Everyone in Obscura is a legend. I listened to this album at least 3x per day when it came out.

I’m so amazed by this guy. Such a fluid, yet technical playing style that is insanely satisfying to watch.

1:48 my god, that lead foot switch for the triplets is nice and clean

[@sexypoulpe]

Most impressive part indeed, I guess only drummers can notice that ;)

[@RobbyRhea]

100%! My double bass isn’t near that pristine.

[@REIDOPLANETA]

He does this on a few other videos also. His technique is probably the best sounding to me.

[@wouterbmx072]

So I am trying to understand triplets vs hertas. I understood these to be hertas, you guys call them triplets. Can someone explain where I go wrong? I believe a herta is where the count is 1 2 3 4 and you play the 1 2 and 3. And a triplet is where you would play 3 stokes in the time it was supposed to be 4? kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZq2lJeplqllfbc

[@acupofcoffee693]

I love these double kick patterns so much, I want to have a romantic picnic at the sunset with them, tell them I want to get married, buy a house travel beautiful places and want to have little patterns, so I can die old and with a smile

[@CephalicMiasma4]

Absolutely incredible performance. Lanser is one of the most interesting and technical drummers in metal right now.

[@motopolak]

So clean on so many levels. Kit looks amazing and sounds killer. Love that little double bass pattern at 1:53 - 1:55!

[@nathanwalsh3028]

[@maaaaaap]

people were saying rip obscura when Hannes left too, but all 3 are world class drummers, it will be interesting to see what David brings into the band

[@KudCl0wn]

Although Sebastian is my prefered drummer in Obscura, David Diepold is a force to be trifle with.

[@atterion3923]

To be honest David is doing amazing in Obscura, he fits in very well and in my opinion A Valediction is one of the best albums they put out

[@samuliauno8163]

What is this? A drum video from 2019 where the drums sound like ACTUAL drums instead of overproduced, overcompressed, over-equalised carbage cans? And there's DYNAMICS too?! Sincerely though, sick video. Wish more people made their kits sound this good these days. Herr Lanser is a beast behind the kit, too!

It was all amazing but the second half was SICK

[@cbaum64]

I could rave about that kit and his precision all day, but that Mudvayne bass-tone is really ripping my attention away right now 😵

[@ericwilliams7374]

Yeah, I sort of agree with you, but I saw an interview with Steffen Kummerer. He explained that they wanted the bass to stand out more. Like it was a 3rd guitar instead of it just following along with the "rhythm guitars". So, hopefully, if you try to keep that in mind, it will help you maybe change your mind a bit about the bass tone. Though I admit, it could be just a tad bit better.

[@Assimilator702]

Christian Baumgartner You might think of Mudvayne when you hear that bass tone however it was used back in the 90’s on one of Deaths later albums. It might have only been on one track.

[@Khazandar]

Except Martinie never used fretless bass in Mudvayne.

[@Assimilator702]

@BeardedDanishViking It's the same idea regardless of the specifics. The bass guitar tone Martine used was very similar. And coming from the 90's it's obvious.

[@cbaum64]

I definitely agree with you all, let me just clarify that that tone is absolutely sick, I didn’t mean the comment in any sort of negative way. I’ve always thought it sounded like a chainsaw ripping through water, especially on L.D. 50.
